Damn! Those Ghanaians – Ghana-ites – Ghanareans…. Whatever…

Damn those dudes can run fast and score goals! We made two – count them – TWO – mistakes and they scored on both of them to win in the Round of 16. Good on them! They were faster to the ball, they played quicker and more precisely, and basically just beat us up. We lost to the better team on the day. I give the USA a lot of credit for making it TO the Round Of 16, but we weren’t ready for the fight.

I’m looking forward to the Brazilians and the Argentines to go into the latest rounds at this point.

We’ll see what happens though…

The Women’s US Soccer Team beat the Brazilians 2-1 to take the Gold Medal in Greece. This is a big deal for them. Many of them are so old they’re using walkers now. Finally they can retire happy since they got beat by Germany in the World Cup last year. With great perseverity and determinitude they survived to win in overtime.
